01 What makes it unique

The Jayco White Hawk 25MBH is a 30' 8" travel trailer in the MY2024 White Hawk roster. Jayco publishes a dry weight of 6,195 pounds against a 7,500-pound GVWR, and the two tie out exactly with the published 1,305-pound cargo carrying capacity — 6,195 + 1,305 = 7,500. That arithmetic is checked on every plan in this catalogue, and a plan whose own figures disagree is catalogued without a page rather than quietly reconciled.

The dry tongue weight is 695 pounds, or 11% of the dry weight. Tongue load transfers to the hitch and the rear axle, and a weight-distributing hitch redistributes it rather than removing it. Payload is 1,305 pounds, 17% of GVWR — that is the ceiling for water, propane, cargo and any dealer-fitted equipment combined. Fresh water alone at 55 gallons is about 457 pounds when full.

Tanks are 55 gallons fresh, 30 grey and 30 black. Interior height is 6' 9" and the exterior measures 8' 0" wide. Jayco publishes two exterior heights for this floorplan: 10' 6" at the roofline and 11' 3" with the air conditioner. Both are printed above, neither is derived from the other, and it is the taller figure that has to clear your garage. This page covers the MY2024 25MBH only. Jayco’s figures move between model years — measured on one Jayco floorplan across five consecutive years, 20 of 28 published fields changed, including a 290-pound swing in dry hitch weight — so nothing here is carried over from a neighbouring year, and no year is shown that Jayco has not published for this code.

How the 25MBH differs from the other eight White Hawk floorplans. Most distinctive first. Sibling pages may cover other model years than this one (2024). How these ranks are worked out.

  • Dry weight, 6,195 lb: lightest of nine; next is the 27RK (6,500 lb).
  • GVWR, 7,500 lb: lowest of nine; next are the 27RB and 27RK (8,000 lb).
  • Dry tongue weight, 695 lb: lightest of nine; next is the 27RK (720 lb).
  • Length, 30 ft 8 in: shortest of nine; next is the 26FK (32 ft 1 in).
  • Grey tank, 30 gal: smallest of nine; next is the 32QBH (57 gal).
  • Black tank, 30 gal: smallest of nine; next are the 26FK, 27RB and five others (30.5 gal).
  • Cargo capacity, 1,305 lb: second-smallest of nine, between the 27RB (1,250 lb) and the 32BH (1,360 lb).
  • Dry tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 11.2%: fourth-smallest of nine, between the 27RK (11.1%) and the 27RB (11.4%).
  • Sleeping capacity, 8: fourth-largest of nine, between the 27RB, 27RK and two others (6) and the 32BH (9).
  • Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 17.4%: fifth-smallest of nine, between the 32RL (16.3%) and the 29RL (18.5%).
  • Exterior height, 10 ft 6 in: lowest of nine, level with the 26FK; next are the 27RK, 29BH and three others (10 ft 7 in).

Next to the 27RK (2023–2024 page), the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 25MBH is 305 lb lighter by dry weight, has a GVWR 500 lb lower, has 195 lb less cargo capacity, has a dry tongue weight 25 lb lighter, is 2 ft 2 in shorter, stands 1 in lower, has 1 in less interior height, has a grey tank 31 gal smaller, has a black tank 0.5 gal smaller and sleeps two more; the two publish the same fresh tank.

Receiver hitch rating needed7,500 lb towed / 1,125 lb tongue
Payload check. Budget loaded, not dry: subtract the loaded range, every passenger, the bed and cab load and a weight-distributing hitch from the payload on your tow vehicle’s door-pillar placard (49 CFR 571.110 S4.3).

Check your vehicle. Enter the ratings from your owner’s manual and the door-pillar placard.

Compares your figures with this page’s published GVWR (7,500 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,125 lb, a rule of thumb). Your vehicle’s placard and the trailer’s own weight label govern.

Loaded range: 10–15% of GVWR on the tongue, a rule of thumb, not a measurement of this unit. No truck ratings or hitch classes (why; NHTSA, DOT HS 809 433).

03 The White Hawk floorplan family

White Hawk was Jayco’s luxury lightweight travel trailer, sitting above Jay Feather in the range Jayco ran through MY2024. Jayco’s own floorplan index for the last model year titles it a luxury lightweight travel trailer, and the line does not appear in any model year after 2024. The figures on this page are the last ones Jayco published for this floorplan. The 25MBH on this page is highlighted; every other profiled plan links to its own page.

Rows are White Hawk floorplans profiled on this site, captured from Jayco’s own MY2024 floorplan pages — the last model year Jayco published for this line. A tenth floorplan, 24MRB, is catalogued on the line hub without a page because Jayco publishes no spec table for it. White Hawk is not the same product as Jay Feather and no Jay Feather figure appears on this page.

04 Notes on this floorplan

Figures are Jayco’s own, and they tie out

Dry 6,195 lb + cargo 1,305 lb = GVWR 7,500 lb exactly. Nothing on this page is computed from the other two, estimated from the segment, or taken from a dealer listing.

Dry means empty, and you will not tow it empty

6,195 lb is the unit as built, before water, propane, batteries, cargo or dealer-installed options. Weigh the loaded trailer on a public scale before matching it to a tow vehicle.

Tongue load rides the rear axle

695 lb dry tongue transfers to the hitch and the rear axle. A weight-distributing hitch moves that load around; it does not make it disappear.

MY2024 is the last year Jayco published for this line

Jayco’s own sitemap carries White Hawk for MY2023 and MY2024 and no later model year. This page therefore holds the last record Jayco published for this floorplan, and there is no later year to compare it against. Five White Hawk floorplan codes reappear under the Jay Feather badge from MY2025 — 26FK, 27RK, 29RL, 32QBH and 32RL — and measured against Jayco’s own published records, the exterior length differs on every one of the five. They are not the same trailer, and nothing on this page is carried over from one.

What this page does not publish

Jayco’s factory spec table for this floorplan carries no slide count, no bed size, no refrigerator or air-conditioner spec, no tire size and no MSRP. Those rows are absent here rather than filled from a sibling floorplan or a second source. Jayco’s published awning length is held in this catalogue’s saved copy of the factory page but not printed, because the catalogue tracks no awning field to print it into.

06 Loading it for a trip

A full 55-gallon fresh tank is about 457 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 35% of the 25MBH’s 1,305 lb cargo capacity, leaving 848 lb (106 lb per rated berth). Across 9 White Hawk floorplans the water share runs 28% to 37%, and 1 gives up more than this one. Nearest on that share: White Hawk 32BH at 34% and White Hawk 27RB at 37%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).

07 Where this floorplan sits

Closest sibling: the White Hawk 27RK, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 8 of the 9 fields both publish (this plan first): length 30 ft 8 in vs 32 ft 10 in; sleeps 8 vs 6; dry weight 6,195 lb vs 6,500 lb; GVWR 7,500 lb vs 8,000 lb; cargo capacity 1,305 lb vs 1,500 lb; hitch weight 695 lb vs 720 lb; grey tank 30 gal vs 61 gal; black tank 30 gal vs 30.5 gal. They match on fresh tank.

09 What this page publishes, and what it does not

12 of the 18 fields this catalogue tracks are published for the 25MBH. Not published: slide count, axle count, tire specification, awning, refrigerator, air conditioning.

11 NHTSA safety record

NHTSA holds 19 recall campaigns and 32 owner complaints (model years 2005 on) against the White Hawk line (a recall and a complaint are not the same thing).

What to look at on a used one. Across the 32 complaints filed on this line the most-reported components are suspension (28%), equipment (19%) and service brakes (12%).

Recall coverage here is not complete, and complaints are owners’ unverified reports (how this record is built). Check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy. Full tables are on the White Hawk line page.
